Straighten

Select Straighten to add a straighten step to the Edit List palette. In the Straighten step within the Edit List palette, you can rotate an image incrementally clockwise or counter-clockwise, or you can trace a line within your image that should be either horizontal or vertical and allow the straighten tool to automatically straighten your image.

To straighten your image using the straighten tool, follow these steps:

2

With an image open within the editor, click on the straighten tool in the toolbar.

Locate a line within the image that should be either vertical or horizontal and click on the start of the line. While holding the mouse button down, draw the entire length of the line, letting go when you have reached the end of that line. The straighten tool will then calculate the direction and degree of the rotation to apply to the image to make the line you described either horizontal or vertical.

3If you made a mistake while drawing the line, you can click on the line you added to the image and adjust one of the two anchor points found at either end of the line, or you can re-draw the line by

clicking and dragging within the image window again.
